Manchester City's Spanish midfielder Rodri is expected to finalize his transfer to Barcelona in the coming days following the English club's acceptance of a £65 million bid. Rodri, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2024, was absent from Manchester City's squad for their Community Shield match against Arsenal, which they lost 3-0. The 30-year-old will be signing a four-year contract with Barcelona.
After City's defeat, new boss Enzo Maresca stated that Rodri's departure is not a concern for the club, given his World Cup and Ballon d'Or victories. Rodri, in the final year of his contract, has been linked with a move to Barcelona, who were also pursued by rivals Real Madrid after their World Cup triumph. He has made 298 appearances for City since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2019, winning 12 major trophies.
Other recent departures from City include Bernardo Silva, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, John Stones, and Tijjani Reijnders.
